The countries which registered the biggest retail share of over 20 percent when it comes to online shopping are South Korea, China and the United Kingdom. Meanwhile, the global e-commerce sales expanded by 4.0 percent to 26.7 trillion dollars according to UNCTAD's data for 2019.
The figures were widely boosted by the coronavirus-related lockdown measures that were present in some form throughout the whole of 2020, with companies such as Alibaba and Amazon leading the industry.
